Alkaline Trio returns with Oblivion, a sharp new single out now via Rise Records. Following last year’s Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs, the track continues the band’s post-pandemic momentum with a clean blend of dark melodic punk and emotional weight.
Clocking in at just over three minutes, Oblivion delivers everything you’d expect from Alkaline Trio—tight rhythms, haunting melodies, and Matt Skiba’s unmistakable voice navigating themes of disconnection and inner collapse. The production is crisp, but the core is raw—recalling the moodiness of Crimson with the polish of their newer material.
Released alongside an official video, the single landed to quick fan praise, with longtime listeners calling it one of the band’s strongest tracks in years. It’s a reminder that after nearly three decades, Alkaline Trio is still evolving without losing what made them matter in the first place.
